Restop Solutions Contain Human Waste to Prevent
Spread of Hepatitis A in California, Flesh-Eating
Bacteria in Hurricane-Torn Areas
(1888 PressRelease) Self-contained disposable
toilets provide safe, clean solutions to prevent
fecal-oral transmission of deadly
diseases. ESCONDIDO, Calif. Hepatitis A
outbreaks in San Diego, Los Angeles and other
parts of California caused by the spread of the
virus from feces to mouth are unprecedented.
With more than half of the cases occurring among
the homeless, who do not have access to bathroom
facilities with sinks to wash their hands after
use, an individual infected with the virus can
easily transmit it to others through touch. To
prevent the spread of hepatitis A, one of the
steps government officials are emphasizing is
sanitation, and Restop (www.Restop.com)
disposable toilets provide sanitary solutions for
human feces that can be safely disposed of in
garbage receptacles. Restop products are also
being utilized in Houston, Texas, and throughout
areas of Florida impacted by the recent
hurricanes, where necrotizing fasciitis, more
commonly referred to as the flesh-eating
bacteria, has been spreading. Affected
individuals have been exposed to the fecal
bacteria, which can be spread through floodwaters
contaminated with sewage and enter the body
through cuts in the skins surface. Travel
toilets such as those from Restop can reduce the
accumulation of human waste by providing for its
proper collection and disposal. Communities
affected by outbreaks of potentially deadly
illnesses need every opportunity to reduce the
risk of transmission, said Restops President
and COO Jim Goode.

Restop products can help prevent the spread of
infectious viruses and bacteria by providing
access to hygienic facilities that contain human
waste as well as antimicrobial wipes for cleaning
hands after use. The disposable toilets can then
be placed in trash receptacles for safe disposal
in landfills. To help impacted areas, Restop, a
Southern California manufacturer, is providing
government officials with product samples,
including RS1 liquid waste bags that hold up
to 20 ounces of urine yet are small enough to fit
into a pocket, glove compartment or backpack.
RS2 solid and liquid waste bags, which feature
a bag within a bag design to contain and
neutralize both liquid and solid waste. Toilet
paper and antimicrobial wipes are included with
both options. Both RS1 and RS2 bags are
inexpensive, small enough to conveniently carry,
and easy to distribute to populations at meal
sites, health stations and shelters. Government
officials interested in receiving product samples
